A Tram/Em Patented May 12, 1931 I ALFRED L. SCHULZE, or Hous'ron, 'rnxAs sAnmoN nonnnav Application filediOctober 4, 1929.; Sei-ia1'No. 397,207.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a sad-iron holder.

One object of the invention is to provide a holder or support, of'the character described,

specially designed. for attachment to an ironing board to be used for supporting the iron when the same is not actually in use.

Another object of the invention is to pro vide a device of the character described which may be easily attached to and detached from an ironing board and which will serve as a support for the sad-iron, when the same is not actually being used, to the end that the hot iron will not be liable to be left on the ironing board or the garment thereon to burn the same.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, arrange- 2 ment of parts and use, an example of which is given in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein Figure 1 shows a side view of the device as applied to an ironing board, and

i Figure 2 shows a bottom plan view there- 0 l Referring now more particularly to the drawings, wherein like numerals of reference designate similar parts in each of the figures, the numerals 1, 1 designate the endbearings of a yoke member and-the numerals 2, 2 designate diverging side arms of said into substantial alignment with their free ends 4, 4 turned outwardly into parallel relation. Between said parallel ends l there is a bar 5, whose outer end is upwardly curved and said bar is secured between said ends 4 by means of suitable bolts 6 which also secure saidends together; to the respective portions 3, 3 are the angular upstanding clamps 7 adapted to engage over one edge of the ironing board 8. Slidably mounted in the bearings 1, '1 there is the shank 9 and a pull spring 10 connects the inner end of said shank to' the inner endof the bar 5. The outer end of the shank 9 is formed into a hook like clamp 11 adapted to engage the other edge of the ironing board 8.

There are the supporting plates 12 whose yoke member whose outer ends 3, 3 are turned board in an obvious manner.

Fastened the frame being extended beyond the correouter ends are downwardly turned and.- disposedin vertical relation, one on each side of the outer end'of the bar 5 and these down wardly turnedends are clamped to said bar 5 by means of the clamp bolt 13. These plates are disposed in substantially horizontal position and their other ends l l, 14: are down-' wardly turned and bolted .to the respective parts 3. Mounted on the'plates 12 there is'a I 7 platform 15, which is secured tosaid plates 12 T and which preferablyconforms"to the shape of the sad-iron as shown. This platform has the upwardly extending, marginal,

stops 16. While using a sad-lron it often becomes necessary to adjust the garment'on the ironing board and usually there is no support for the said iron other than theironing board itself, and when placed thereon, said iron is liable to burn the'i-roning board or the garment thereon. The attachment herein described provides a convenient support on which the sad-iron may be located, when desired, so as to be at all times within convenient reach for use.

The spring 10 operates to hold the clamp 7, 11 in secure gripping relation with the margins of the ironing board ;,but, when it is desired to detach the holder, the clamp 11 may be pulled outwardly until it clears the corresponding edge of the board and then 0 swung downwardly to clear said bolt and the holder may then be removed from said The drawings and description disclose what is now considered to be a preferred form 85. of the invention by way of illustration only while the broad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A sad-ironj holder comprising a frame, spaced clamps thereon disposed to engage over opposite margins of an ironing board, yieldable means normally holding said clamps in such engaging relation one end of spending clamp and a supporting platform supported by said extended end. I

2. A holder of the character described including a, supporting frame having end clamps adapted to engage opposite edges of 'PAT r a-ma;;--

an ironing board, said frame bein extended at one end beyond the correspon mg clamp anal a supporting platform on said extended en 3. An iron holder including a frame formed of two parts, a yieldable member connecting'said parts, a, clamp hook carried by each part, said hooks being engegfimble with opposite margins of a support, one end of the frame being extended beyond the corresponding clamp and a supporting platform on said extended end.

4. An iron holder including a frame, means thereon for engaging opposite margins of an ironing board, one end of the frame being extended beyond the Correspondin geging means and a supporting platform on said extended end of said frame.

5 An iron holder including a frame formed of sections, yieldable means connecting said sections, an engaging clamp on each section one end of the frame extending out yond its corresponding clamp and an end supporting platform on said extended end of'the frame.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

ALFRED L. SGHULZE.
